Ross and others stayed in Elbaf for ten days.
Originally, there were three giants who intended to join Hajrudin, but when Hajrudin told them that the next goal was to deal with BIGMOM Charlotte Linlin, there were five more giants in an instant.
There weren't many giants in the Giant Race. Eight giants was already equivalent to the military strength of an army.
Of course.
Giants without the ability of Devil Fruit are also limited in strength. Among them, the more elite Yura and Xin Zhuo have the strength to deal with ordinary cadres of the Donquixote Family, and the rest are inferior.
In fact, this time Hajrudin already has the reputation of becoming the leader of the Giants. In this case, it is okay to transfer more giants, but Ross thinks that eight is almost enough.
He might not be able to find eight suitable Devil Fruits in the future.
"Next, I'll need the Devil Fruit."
On the deck, Ross thought a little and said to Laffitte: "Tenryubito's heart, you pinch it twice every once in a while, and when the government contacts you, say that you want to get the heart back and exchange it with Devil Fruit."
The Tenryubito's heart is no longer useful. If he can exchange it for a few Devil Fruits, it can play its final role.
"Hohoho, understood."
An evil smile appeared on Laffitte's face. He nodded and walked into the cabin.
Three days after leaving Elbaf, the World Government dialed the Den Den Mushi carried by the CP0 Division Captain and contacted Laffitte.
"What do you want?"
On the other side of Den Den Mushi, the Gorōsei's low voice came.
The Ghost Hand Pirates are not bored enough to play with Mjosgard's heart for two or three days in a row. They must have some plans for doing so, which is easy to guess.
But guessing is just a guess. They have no way to give up Mjosgard casually. Even if they thought that the last call with Ross was very unpleasant, they had to choose to contact him again and their tone was very reluctant.
"Hohoho … Captain said that if you want to get this heart back, you have to use Devil Fruit to trade." Laffitte held the Den Den Mushi and said with an evil smile.
"…"
The Five Elder Stars are silent on the other side.
It's not because Ross wants Devil Fruit, but because Ross actually let a subordinate talk to them. What does he think of them?!
"Who are you? Where's Ghosthand?"
One of the Five Elder Stars asked while suppressing his anger.
Laffitte grinned and said, "I'm a nobody. I'm sure none of you have heard of me. As for our captain, he's taking a bath."
Bastard!
A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) slapped the table, almost unable to control his emotions.
"Intelligence says they went to Elbaf."
A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) said with a cold face: "It may be that they recruited new Giant crew in Elbafu, so they need Devil Fruit to continue to build the Giant Corps."
"Damn it."
"Giants with a one-track mind …"
One of the Five Elder Stars next to him had a look of anger in his eyes.
They want to simply destroy Elbaf, but there are many Giant Vice-Admiral in Marine, and there are giants in the World Government. If they destroy Elbaf, these forces that originally belonged to them will certainly turn against them, and it will have no impact on Ross. It is equivalent to cutting themselves.
The five people hung up the Den Den Mushi and talked to each other.
Devil Fruit is not precious to the World Government. Some tenryubito even play with it casually, but if it falls into Ross's hands, it will be very different.
The terrible combat power of the Giant Corps is famous in the world. Now the whole world knows how powerful the giants who have eaten Devil Fruit are.
Finally.
Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) still made a decision.
"Have you made a decision?"
Laffitte stood leaning against the wall. He knew that Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) were discussing, but he was not in a hurry. After a while, he asked with a slight smile.
Trading with the government is a dangerous thing, so Ross's attitude is that it will be good if he can get it, and it doesn't matter if he can't get it, there is no loss.
"…"
Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) haven't been urged for a long time, but at this time, they can only suppress their anger.
One of them said in a deep voice:
"Yes."
"Very well, then let's discuss the quantity. As the World Government, there should be a lot of Devil Fruits, right? I believe you won't care if there are ten or eight of them, hohohoho. "
"Don't be whimsical."
A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) said in a deep voice. "Your identity is a pirate, and the price of boosting your power is very high. At most, we can trade a Devil Fruit with you."
Laffitte laughed and said, "Then our Captain will be very dissatisfied, maybe he will do something immoral."
"Are you threatening us?"
Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) said coldly.
Laffitte said: "No, don't get me wrong, I'm just reminding you … Of course, our Captain is kind-hearted and doesn't like to kill people. A Devil Fruit is fine, but it must be Logia."
"Impossible!"
A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) immediately rejected.
The value of Logia Devil Fruit is clear to everyone. Even the weaker Logia is almost invincible for people who don't know Haki.
"If it's a Paramecia Devil Fruit, you need at least two and Zoan three. How to trade, you can weigh it yourself. It's up to you whether you want to trade or not."
Laffitte smiled and after saying the last sentence, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Ross was standing opposite him, standing with his back against the wall and his hands folded on his chest. Seeing Laffitte hang up the phone, he said, "Good talk."
He asked Laffitte to talk to Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars). On the one hand, he is too lazy to communicate with Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars). On the other hand, Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) is only the core of the government's power on the surface. There are other existences above the five.
Subordinate to subordinate, this is very reasonable.
Laffitte smiled and said, "I don't know if the government will agree."
"Who knows?"
Ross didn't care and said, "Even if they agree, the government won't be able to deliver the Devil Fruit obediently."
After a while.
The World Government called again, but this time it was not a Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars), but a government official, who spoke in a deep voice.
"Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) agreed to trade with a Logia Devil Fruit, but we need to specify the trading location."
"Hohoho … You specify the trading location. If you specify Mariejois or Marine Headquarters, I'm afraid it won't be a trade, but a siege."
Laffitte said with a slight sarcasm on his face.
The government official said in a deep voice: "It won't be specified in Mariejois or Marine Headquarters, but it's impossible for you to specify the location. Don't forget that you are pirates, which is the most untrustworthy."
Laffitte held the Den Den Mushi and turned to look at Ross.
Ross calmly said: "Tell them, at most, let them specify the sea area, the specific island is determined by us."
Laffitte relayed Ross's meaning.
The government official over there fell silent and did not respond for a long time. It seemed that he went to ask Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) for his opinion and finally gave a reply after a few minutes.
